How to Stretch

Step 7 Quads

Standing on one leg, pull your left heel to your butt with your right arm. With your left arm brace yourself against something. If there is nothing nearby to help support you, staring at one spot on the ground will help you keep your balance. Hold and then stretch your right quad.

Here is a much safer version of this stretch: Stand with both knees bent slightly. Bend one leg and reach with your hand BUT do NOT let the foot touch your butt and do NOT let the knee get in front of your hip. If you do not feel enough of a stretch in the front of your thigh, instead of pulling your leg back or your foot up, keep the knees in line and curl your pervis up and pull on the thigh muscle with your stomach muscles - imagine trying to get your crotch/belly button to your chest in a tight curl. You will feel a deep stretch in the front of your thigh withour risk of knee or groin injury!
